Activation of amino acids for incorporation into proteins

Description

A specific enzyme, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, recognizes both a particular amino acid and a tRNA carrying the corresponding anticodon.
This synthetase catalyzes the formation of an aminoacyl tRNA, with accompanying hydrolysis of one ATP to AMP.
Messenger RNA is read 5’  3’.
Polypeptide synthesis begins at the N-terminus.
